It seems that for every valid WU, I get an error for the next.

Host ID: 24564

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ [x86 Family 15 Model 107 Stepping 2] 3MB RAM
Win Vista 32 Home Basic x86 Service Pack 1, (06.00.6001.00)
Boinc 6.4.7
GeForce 9800 GT 512MB
Nvidia 182.08

I can also only run 1 Boinc task when running a GPUgrid task.

Any suggestions?

Try Boinc 6.5.0. Download the version for your OS from here.

I don't suppose it's the BOINC, but worth a try anyway.

Which driver do you use?

And a shot into the wild: could it be that you switch your PC off over night and the 1st WU of each day has a pretty good chance for success, while the second one is likely to fail? Maybe some serious heat build-up?

Machine is on 24/7. Driver is Nvidia 182.08.

It is a relative new machine. I will add another fan to it to see if that helps.

Or leave the side panel off, testwise.

Are you running any temperature (etc) utils?

If not download these two before you buy anything - there are legions of them, these two will do for now until you settle on ones you like:

Core cpu temperature: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/
Core GPU Temperature (amongst lots of other facts): http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1333/TechPowerUp_GPU-Z_v0.3.2.html

Run them whenever you want to do a check of the cpu/gpu temperature, then compare against the cpu/card gpu specs on board/cpu suppliers Site. If close to/over the spec temp, then another fan/replacement fan - might - be in order.

If it shows over the spec maximum temperature - stop processing WUs immediately until we can deduce whats going on, that will reduce the core temperatures back to safe levels for the moment.
